You are a data analyst at a manufacturing company that uses Microsoft 365 and Power BI. The company has a Power BI tenant with Free, Pro, and Premium Per User (PPU) licenses. Your team has created a Power BI report that visualizes production line efficiency from a SQL Server database on-premises. The report is published to a workspace assigned to a PPU capacity. You need to ensure that all 50 users in the production department can view the report on their mobile devices, with data refreshing every 30 minutes. The users have a mix of Free and Pro licenses. The report uses DirectQuery mode to the on-premises SQL Server. You have configured an on-premises data gateway in personal mode. Users report that the report is slow and sometimes fails to load. What should you do to improve performance and reliability while meeting the refresh requirement?

You are a Power BI administrator for a retail company. The sales team uses a Power BI report that connects to an on-premises SQL Server database via an on-premises data gateway. Recently, several users reported that the report is showing stale data. The report is configured to refresh daily at 8:00 AM. Upon investigation, you find that the scheduled refresh failed last night at 8:00 AM with an error: 'The data source credentials could not be encrypted using the gateway's encryption key.' The gateway is installed on a server that was rebooted for maintenance at 7:30 AM. The gateway service account is a local service account.
